as possible with such checks and Limitations

question OF purchasing boRds as means Of

borne in mind that premiuAns must Of course
be paid upon such purchase, that there NAV

and the difference between the old and new

this plan, it is apparent, must depend Apon
the volition Of the holders of tine present
bonds; and it is not entirely certain that the
lnGHcement which must be offered them
would result in more financial benefit to the'

WHEN the accoui.L OF the death oil
/. S. Kalloch came over the wires the
other night, an intelligent reporter on
the HERALD furnished the teleg' aph
c litor with very bIief synopsis OF
deceased's career in the East and on
this coast. Had it been thought oil
sufficient public interest, and the late
ness of the hour permitted, tits
might have been made nut b more
complete. There was no desire to
misrepresent anything. But some
superserviceable busybody on the
staff of the San Bernardiuo Times IN
dertakes to prove the opposite. In
a long column and a half he questions
the statement made in these columns
that the Kalloch pamphlet appeared
before the shooting of Kalloch. We
much doubt that our reporter was
wrong in this respect. But if he is,
the matter is not material. That our
reporter had any desire to misstate
the facts is pure nonsense. And that
the HERALD has any jealous feel
ing arising from the success OF the
Chronicle, no one who has ever read
our columns conld assert, unless he
is an ass. Perhaps that is what is the
matter in San Bprnardipo.

mand. Eggs and poultry are beii G
hauled here by rail from Kansas.
Butter is worth $l.l5 per roll of tw,
rather short pounds. The create

fpm diaries outside our county.
The supply of butchers meat fall
far short of our needs. There has
besn company Organized here re
Gently to import beef cattle and mutton
sh .ep from the valley OF the MI
sissippi to feed this community. Al
the butchers we are paying ten TO
twenty cents per pound for meats.
1t il TO be borne in mind that here
is q valley of 100000 acres Of fine
farming land. Every commodit.
named above should be grown
here in sufficient quantity fol
local consumption, and there
should be moreover surplus
for export. 1t is no evaporation to
say that one thousand families can go
right in here this winter and find
homes on small farms which will
maintain the members Of each house
hold in the very hest way. 1t does
not require the capital of a millionaire
nor the capacity Of genius to enter
into these industries. A very n Cd
crate sum will suffice, and plain husi-
ness sense is all that is requisite. A
man need not buy the highest
priced land, at $1,000 per acre,
such as the wealthy seek for their res
licences, or the orange grover for his
orchard. A piece of good, plain farm
ing land whose price will range at $50
to 1900 per acre is all that is necessary.
The farmer lives on this and enjoys
all the benefits of our matches CHM
ate. He hires but half the labor ne
cessa,y in the cold north, for his own
hands are worth two pairs there, and
so are those of each of his sons. The
man that pays from $4,000 to $40 900
for hundred acres of such land is in
dependent of the world for ever.

The heavy wind which has visited
this section during the current week
is decidedly novel experience for us.
Yet such storms, and even more Sc
we're ones, have been known here in
times past. 1t is rather more than
six years since such dispensation
afflicted the country. In the latter
part of November, 1881, wind even
heavier than that of this week
swept parts of the valley. 1t
did less damage than the re-
cent blow, for the reason that
there was less for it to act on. There
was in 1881 scarcely a house blown
down. The obstruction done the
other night is due not to the extreme
violence of the wind, but to the
flimsy manner in which many of our
new buildings are being erected. The
Western States in any OF their sections
are subject to winds far more power
full than that which has just passed
over this valley. At its height
it reached only fifty-six miles per
hour. That i the measure
of its violence, and not the houses it
laid PROSTATE. So pressing is the
demand for houses and hotels that
these edifces have been rushed up
with little reference to their ability
to do more than stand alone. Such a
wind as this would have passed over
any section of the west and not lett
any track behind it. We are SCUM
accustomed to such dispensations here
that we think any himsy structure will
stand, and we are generally right.
1t is only once in six to ten years a
gale comes to try of what mettle our
buildings are. Infrequent as such
storms are. this one should teach a
lesson to build little more substan-
TALLY in the future.
These storms are usually known
here as "Santa Anas." No wonder
the southeastern section OF the county
repudiates this name. They might
more justly take their name
from any other portion of Los
Angeles county, then from the south
eastern quarter. The wind OF 1881 and
that OF the other day were hardly felt
at Santa Ana, Anaheim or up as
far asDowney. In this city the ex-
treme violence OF the wind was only
twenty-six miles an hour. While at
the Raymond hotel, in Pasadena
the speed reached fifty-six miles. TIE
foothill region got far the worst OF it,
and the closer to the base Of the mount
ain, the more extreme the force OF the
wind was. The gale Of 1851 and the
recent one are parallel in this as
in many other features.

General Brown, a Republican mem
Der of Congress from Indiana, who
was member of the Ways and Means
Committee of the last Congress, seems
to be more liberal in his views on the
tariff than some of his Republican
colleagues. He says that the people
OF his community believe in removing
the duties from such necessaries OF
life as sugar, salt and lumber. They
are, however, unutterahly opposed to
the repeal of the whiskey tax, and are
opposed to the naked proposition to
repeal the tobacco tax, but might
agree to it in connection with the re-
peal OF the duties on sugar, lum Der
and salt.
The above is from one OF our ex-
changes and occurs in an interview
with General Brown. What sort of a
Republican is this anyway? Does he
really prefer the good OF the country
to partisan politics? Heis, by the way,
not Blaine man. Does that ex.

RANDALL's proposition to take the
tax-75 cents per ton-otf Of coal
would be about the hest thing that
could happen to California. We i'm
port nearly all our coal, and rs cents
a ton would help somewhat to build
up our infant industries. Yet the
Republican press of the State thus
far has had nothing but carping criti-
cisms ON the measure. Party
advantage, not the public good,
is the idea here as elsewhere.
T, be sure it will hit Mr.. Blaine's in.
terests in the Hooking Valley a hard
blow. 1t will not do his employees a
bit of harm. Poor devils they are
about as badly off, tax or no tax, as
the arch.enemy of mankind could
wish them. They are so wretched in
this lie, that whateyerma lie beyond
the grave is likely to be relief to
them!

SERGEANT FRANKLIN. the Signal Ser
vice Observer, reports that cold wave
is on it's way down from Montana.
The Democrats and Prohibitionists,
and their ally, the Times, will feel it
about Monday evening.
The above is from the columns Of
our esteemed contemporary, the Tri-
bune, where it appeared few days
before the election. The new Council
was organized yesterday, and as there
were nine Democrats, two Prohibition
lists, and only four Republicans, all Of
whom were "holdovers," on the fo' r,
and as the Times "got in its work." il
looks as if this chill cyclone struck
close to where the Tribune lives.

A New Hampshire tariff reformer,
Representative l.. F. Mckinney, the
new Democratic member for the
First New Hampshire District. made
his fight on the issue OF tine tariff and
was elected by majority OF about
$50, where the Republicans had be-
fore held a majority of $500. He is
a pronounced tariff reformer, and is,
OF course, proud of his victory Mr..
Mckinney said he had made a straight
fight for tariff reduction in one of the
largest manu- acturing districts in the
country and had won it.
What do our High Protective friends
think of this? Did Mr.. Blaine hear
of this election before he wrote his
"Message ?"

Eastern people send here tally in
uuiries as to openings for going into
business. Many parties whose eyes
are turned this way are possessed OF
large means. 1t seems conceded that
such can find enterprises waiting for
development. But there is more or
less question as to the chances for
those of moderate means to discover
something to go into. This view ls
wide of the mark. In Los Angeles
county at this moment are ten thou
sand golden opportunities for men OF
small capital to make more than a
good living. While our population is
growing at break-neck pace the de-
velopment of our natural resources
does not make much progress. The
most common products Of our soil
are daily becoming more inadequate
to meet the demands of home con-
sumption. At the date when the
sboom" was just beginning hay could
be purchased loose in the field for the
low price of SO per ton. 1t did not
pay expenses. Now this crop is
worth 50 ton at the cheapest period
of harvest season. Our land yields
about two tons to the acre. 1t does not
cost by the most expensive method OF
cultivation above $3.50 per acre to pnt
hay in cocks in the field.
The profit is s13 90 per acre.
That beats grain growing in
the best parts OF the West. Every
ten acres will give man a profit Ut
$l35 per year. Land which pays
1880 an acre profit is worth $3.50 an
acre. Barley hay is the least profit
able crop our land produces. Good
hay land can be had for $50 an acre in
the most eligible locations. There is
room for one hundred families to make
q living in this county at such work
Barley, wheat and corn can be added
to the hay crop. and hundreds OF
farmers with capital sufficient to buy
one hundred acres of land can live
we'll.
ii damp lands, or irrigable lands are
purchased and alfalfa hay is produced
instead of that grown from barley, the
annual crops-six to eight year
will amount to twelve tons to theacre.
The crop is worth 500 from each acre
and ten acres will yield revenue Of
$1,000. A family can live on ten-acre
farm of such land. 1t is worth $1,000
per acre. 1t can be had for from 5000
10 $500. These common products, hay
and grain, are not produced in suffi-
Gent quantities for local consumption.
Where farmers have sufficient capital
to pay for such piece OF land as
usually goes to make farm in
Illinois, and il one goes into general
line of husbandry his profits will be
very great. He can, by securing a
tract of comparatively cheap land
grow barley, hay and grain. II he
has q piece of damp or irrigated land
he can grow alfalfa. He will not sell
all, nor very large part
q his crop. He vi have

SUPPosING President Cleveland had
in his message taken the ground that
there was no surplus; or that the
surplus should be used in coast de-
lenses and a navy; or that it should
be cut off by abolishing the internal
revenue tax-does any one think that
in any such event Mr.. Blaine, or the
Republican press, or the leaders OF
that defunct political corporation,
would have commended the policy Of
the Democratic leader? In one
case how they would have
rallied at extravaganza In the
other what handle would have
been made out of free whiskeyl Oh,
mol The attitude of the parties re-.
ferred to above must not be-and will
not be mistaken for patriotism, or any
interest in the people or their welfare.
The Presidents position is their own
position of three years ago. They
have Tor three years clamored for the
introduction of bill to reduce the
surplus. Mark, they had perfect
opportunity to bring in such a bill
themselves in either House. It
could not have passed the Sem
ate at any time without their
cooperation. By their platform
Of 1884, they were as much bound
to this measure as the Democracy
was. But "sink" consistency! That
